Abstract: A large sectioned ingot mould for the vertical continuous casting of metals comprises a cooled tubular metal element (9) and capped by a hot top (8) of thermal insulating refractory. The tubular element (9) is formed by an assembly of metal plates defining a measuring passage (12) for the cast metal, certain (14) of these plates termed as larger walls being backed with a rigidly fixed reinforcing counter plate (16). The ingot mould is characterised in that the upper part of each large wall (14) presents a recessed shoulder (23) with respect to the inner passage (12) for the cast metal in order to hold one (24) of the jaws of a clamping clip (22), of elongated form assuring a clamping continuously distributed along the said large wall (14), and being covered by the top of this latter and its associated counter plate (16) in contact with the other jaw (28) of the clip (22). A system (29, 30) for the regulation of the clamping of the plate (14) and counter plate (16) is provided on the clip (22). The shoulder (23) also provides a space left free by the clip (22) to receive the refractory hot top (8).

Abstract: A vaginal speculum of the kind including a tubular probe (6) for penetrating the vagina wherein the probe is encircled by an annular sealing element (13), in the form of a thick walled, domed shell of polyethylene foam, spaced from the leading end of the probe and which seals only against a circumferential zone of the internal tissue defining the vaginal orifice. The external surface of the sealing element is shaped as a surface of revolution wherein the diameter of the sealing surface increases progressively with axial distance from the leading end of the sealing element and wherein the rate of increase diminishes progressively with said axial distance. The seal therefore provides a low-pressure seal over a limited range of depths of penetration of the probe into the vagina and over a range of angular alignments of the probe.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting and processing a plurality of articles includes a transport loop including a plurality of carrier bars and a plurality of pockets formed between adjacent ones of the carrier bars. The articles are laterally, longitudinally and rotationally positioned within the pockets at a predetermined position. The articles may be pharmaceutical tablets or capsules. The carrier bars may follow a curvilinear path including a non-linear path portion and a substantially linear path portion. The pockets between adjacent carrier bars are open and able to receive the articles when the adjacent carrier bars are at the non-linear path portion, and are closed and tightly grasp the articles when the adjacent carrier bars are at the substantially linear path portion. The apparatus can be used to manufacture shaped edible articles having a non-planar portion that receive serially registered component images from first and second printers. The first and second component images are formed in registration with one another to form a composite image even though the non-planar portion is spaced from the printing plane by variable distances.

Abstract: A fluid delivery system (10) includes a first fluid container (12) having infusion fluid for a patient. The first fluid container has an outlet (42) and a fluid conduit (20) attached to the outlet. A second fluid container (16) applies pressure to the first fluid container to force fluid out of the first container and into the conduit at a desired flow rate. A pressure sensor (22) is coupled to the second fluid container and a flow sensor (24) is coupled to the conduit. The pressure sensor provides pressure signals to a processor (30) in response to the pressure in the second fluid container, while the flow sensor provides flow signals to the processor in response to the fluid flow through the conduit. The processor monitors the flow rate and controls the duty cycle of a downstream flow control actuator (28) to maintain the desired flow rate. The processor may also determine the downstream resistance of the system by varying the flow rate about the selected flow rate, receiving the pressure signals and the flow signals, and calculating the change in pressure over the change in flow rate to produce the fluid resistance measurement.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'authentification de signal vidéo utilisant des portions d'un signal vidéo en vue de générer des codes d'authentification qui sont transmis en association avec des portions respectives du signal. Le signal vidéo est, de préférence, en format comprimé et comprend des codes de synchronisation. De préférence, la donnée entre les codes de synchronisation est utilisée en tant que portions discrètes du signal vidéo. Chaque portion discrète est utilisée à l'aide d'une clé connue de manière sélective et d'une stratégie de génération de code d'authentification basée sur une fonction de hachage afin de générer un code d'authentification. Chaque portion de signal vidéo possède, de préférence, son propre code d'authentification. Le code d'authentification est annexé à la portion du signal vidéo et transmis à partir d'un premier site vers un deuxième site. Au niveau du deuxième site, la même stratégie de génération de code d'authentification est effectuée sur la portion de données vidéo reçues afin de générer un code d'authentification reçu. Le code d'authentification transmis est alors comparé au code d'authentification reçu afin de vérifier l'authenticité de la portion de signal vidéo transmise.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de fournir un flux de données en même temps que des données spécifiques programme (PSI) nécessaires à la sélection du flux de données, à la séparation et au décodage d'un ensemble TV numérique. La présente invention permet, tout en transmettant les données PSI à un ensemble TV numérique, de mesurer le temps d'écoulement des PSI, de créer des données temps précédant un temps de transport d'un premier paquet de transport (TP) appartenant au flux de données par le temps d'écoulement mesuré, de convertir les PSI en au moins un TP, les données temps créées étant ajoutées à un TP converti à partir des PSI, lequel est transmis avant le flux de données TP. Les PSI étant fournis par un flux de données numérique, le flux de données numériques peut être sélectionné dans un moyen d'enregistrement, séparé et décodé au niveau d'un ensemble TV numérique sans perte de données. De plus, bien que les PSI soient fournies en plus, l'invention garantit toujours une continuité entre les TPS successifs, des PSI, écrits dans les données temps et le flux de données.

Abstract: An underwater connector has mateable plug and receptacle units each containing a member having an internal chamber enclosing a contact element when the units are unmated. The members each have a resilient forward end portion with an opening communicating with the chamber, and a forward end face in sealing engagement with the corresponding end face of the other member to provide a seal when the units are mated. An actuator in each unit compresses the forward end portion of each member to close and seal the opening, and the arrangement is such that the forward end portions move away from the actuators and open as the units are mated, to permit one contact element to pass into the member of the other unit for connection to the other contact element. The forward end portions of the members are self-sealing in both the mated and unmated condition, requiring no additional seal elements.
